An antipasto platter is a delicious combination of cheeses, vegetables and meats, usually served with good wines. It’s a great way to start an evening with friends and is very easy to put together. The holidays are filled with opportunities to gather with friends.
Why is it called antipasta?
When you sit down to an Italian meal, the traditional first course is “antipasto” (plural: antipasti). The term is derived from Latin “ante” (before) and “pastus” (meal, pasture). Artfully conceived, antipasto presentations are generally colorful and boast many diverse items, to get people excited for the meal.
What do Italians eat for antipasti?
Typical ingredients of a traditional antipasto include cured meats, olives, peperoncini, mushrooms, anchovies, artichoke hearts, various cheeses (such as provolone or mozzarella), pickled meats, and vegetables in oil or vinegar.
Is charcuterie and antipasto the same?
A difference between antipasto and charcuterie is that antipasto is Italian, while charcuterie is French. The literal translation for charcuterie is “pork-butcher,” meaning that the addition of cheese came later on.
Does antipasto have pasta in it?
These Italian bites are usually served as an appetizer or first course. Think of a beautiful antipasto platter. They don’t involve pasta, so pairing them with spaghetti might not make sense.
What does contorni mean on an Italian menu?
When it comes to food, contorni means a side dish such as a salad or vegetables that are typically served with the main course. In an Italian restaurant, the primi or secondi courses are not served with side dishes. You often need to order them separately.
What is in a charcuterie platter?
Charcuterie is a French word that describes a shop that sells cured pork products such as salami and ham (otherwise known as a deli!). That said, a charcuterie board often incorporates deli meats, as well as cheeses, olives, nuts, dried fruits and other condiments.
What meats are in antipasto?
A typical antipasto platter will contain three to four cold meats of different types. First, a prosciutto crudo (cured ham), then one or two salami, and finally another kind of meat such as mortadella (a bit like baloney or luncheon meat). In Italy, these meats would all come from the same area or region.
What kind of cheese goes on an antipasto platter?
Sharp provolone and fresh mozzarella are classic cheese choices for an antipasto platter. In addition to those two, I love to include chunks of parmigiano reggiano. The texture and nutty flavor is so different from the other cheeses, it’s a fun change of pace!
